Its obvious dark knight will end with Two face being born and the third will mainly be about him unless this film is three hours long either way its a great actor playing two face and heath as joker .also what empire missed out is that some ppl asked nolan if theres any chance of a superman and batman team up he said no but his brother had said he liked the dark knight returns which features a batman superman battle well i guess i can dream but maybe the fact bale nodded he would like that cold happen maybe suggests he might do the Justice film

I think that Bale being involved in any way, shape or form with JLA would undermine the whole ethos of reality that Nolan has structured his Batman films on. I would put money (and a lot of it) on Bale not touching the JLA film with a barge pole. Lets not forget that hes an actors actor, method at that, and he would have been attracted to Batman Begins for Nolans insightful direction and track record and the chance to perform a psychological dissection of the Batman/ Bruce Wayne character through his performance. There will be no such lure for an actor of his exceptional abilities in the JLA film. Shit, with so many principle characters he’d be lucky to get 10 mins of screen time anyway. With this Batman Saga they are very close to making a real statement in how to structure comic material in an adult manner and JLA involvement would undermine that credibility.

Couldn't put it better than this. I can't see this ever happening, if it did I would fall into a pit of depression, I'd be happy for Nolan and Co to make 20 more Batman movies.

With regard to the rest of the article, can't fucking wait! I think it could literally be my favourite film ever when it comes out

Batman Begins was a well needed revamp for the caped crusader, with Nolan and Bale joining to give Batman a new lease of life. I've always liked the darkness of Nolans movies, the prestige in particular was proof of the deep, dark and twisted places that this director is willing to tread. This is the touch that Gotham City needed for batman to thrive. The second film, the Dark Knight will no doubt be as action packed as begins, I must admit i was quite surprised to hear that Ledger was cast to play one of the most famous villains in comic history, the joker. Will he pull it off? It will be a test of his abilities to live up to Jack Nicholson. This set aside the story line, what we know off to date, sounds mmm sound. The introduction of two face, brilliant and here's hoping on it's realese we'll see a film to live up to Batman Begins.

Those are not genuine Dark Knight posters! It’s someone with competent Photoshop skills. The one of Batman holding the Joker is a still from Begins (Batman gassing Craine) with a (not very Heath looking at all) Joker super imposed. Sure we’ll be seeing a lot more of these fakes as the months roll on.

those posters are fakes... jesus do you even know anything about the next film? the bat costume is the one from batman begins, and we all know he has a new one in this film. also there fake versions of the joker. and lastly, from a design viewpoint, they look soooo bad. if WB releases a poster for the joker with the line "not all jokes are funny" i will shoot myself!!!

That’s not entirely correct. The Posters are shoddy and no mistake. But Batman does start the Dark Knight with the same costume he wore in Begins, according to reports when the new costume was first unveiled. There is some form of plot twist that has him upgrade to the new suit, that we’ve all now been shown, during the course of the film.

You’d think that WB would want it up for say 24 hours and then take it down. That footage circulating on Youtube, even for a small amount of time would cause a hell of a stir. Anyway, more than that I’m just desperate to see it

So what do you think, no footage untill a trailer in front of Golden Compass in December? Thats my bet anyhow. Unless you count the 18 second clip of the Bat Pod on Youtube or the 5 minute clip of people and Army wandering about Gotham Streets. That footage does however point to an evacuation of Gotham though. No more Smilex balloons for the love of god, please!!!

I'm really looking forward to The Dark Knight. Heck! Who isn't??? Batman Begins was five star quality comic book movie so I think it's safe to say that hopes are high for The Dark Knight. Unfortunate that the footage wasn't shown fr the thousands of devoted fans but at least we know what it was. I'm really excited about this. It sounds brilliant and a little frightening. Just hope it doesn't catch bad sequel fever!

These are all very good points. This is why (as I've said before elsewhere) I Superman and Batman are ever going to meet on the big screen it should be a WORLD'S FINEST movie with just Superman and Batman, not the whole JLA. To focus on the yin yang, contrasts of the characters, their methods, there respective cities would be much move in keeping with the tones, styles established in Returns and Begins.

I don't think this is real either. All the shots of Batman are from Begins as is the playing card shot. The shot of Aaron Eckhart is maybe from Thank You For Smoking, not sure about Maggie Gyllenhaal. That shot of the Joker just doesn't look right.

Yeah, it is fake. but if you look closely at the footage of Eckhart(pause it), you can see the 'I believe in harvey dent' poster on the wall behind him!! How the fuck did they do that!?

lol u forget one thing this is a job and if bale was given enough money to do JLA he would do it family comes before your job and if he was given alot of money that could benefit his family he would do it plus i am sure he wants to see both batman and superman in film

Bale doesn't strike me as someone who would make a film he didn't believe in for money (if he didn't need the money, of course).

He seems like an actor who does what he wants and the success of Batman means he can say no to films he doesn't believe in.

For once i agree with you Wilbert.I hope Nolan and Bale just continue making great Batman films and forget about JLA and a Superman team up.
